Comments (21)I think you're right Bostedo about the 3-year wait to reach full potential. In the lower picture in my above post, that plant is pretty much in full sun most of the day but is shielded by oak tree shade in the hottest afternoon west sunset, and it has never wilted for this reason, I suspect. It's in my front lawn bed that is on the south side of my home, gets about 4 hours of full sun a day, but the particular photo above was taken after dinner when it's in the afternoon shade from my neighbor's oak trees. It just thrives in that location. I cut it back to the ground every year and i comes back bigger and with more blooms. Hummers are on this one most days. The ones below live in the back yard garden in part to full shade. Hummingbirds go after them in all locations. First photo plant is in dappled shade most of the day. It's right under an oak tree and is just in its second season of growth. As you can see, the plant cluster below (several plants) are in full shade most of the day, are kind of hidden by a nandina on the left and a huge rose bush on the right. They have been here the 4 years we've owned the house, I guess planted by the previous owner. They don't bloom a lot in such deep shade.........but the hummers still find them and enjoy what blooms they have each year. Oh, and I think I've found out why the site randomly won't let me upload my photos. Don't know why it doesn't just say so (other forums software does), but I think it has to do with photo size. If the MB load is too large, it won't upload direct from my hard drive; if it's reduced 30%, it will. I just sized these down 70% with MS Paint and they all uploaded just fine. I'm glad I figured out THAT rather annoying issue!...See Morecynthianovak
